The term ‘refractory metal’ is used to describe a group of metal elements that have exceptionally high melting points and are resistant to wear, corrosion, and deformation.
Industrial uses of the term refractory metal most often refer to five commonly used elements:
Molybdenum (Mo)
Niobium (Nb)
Rhenium (Re)
Tantalum (Ta)
Tungsten (W)
The identifying feature of refractory metals is their resistance to heat. The five industrial refractory metals all have melting points in excess of 3632°F (2000°C).
Metals are made up of atoms that are composed of electrons held in orbit by the pull of the nucleus. When exposed to light, metals give off energy, this phenomenon is referred to as the photoelectric effect. The light has to be of a certain frequency for this to be effective. This means that the […]
